7 AM, the usual morning lineup:Start on the chores and sweep ’til the floor’s all clean,Polish and wax, do laundry, and mop and shine upSweep again,And by thenIt’s like 7:15.

And so I’ll read a book or maybe two or threeI’ll add a few new paintings to my galleryI’ll play guitar and knit, and cook and basicallyJust wonder when will my life begin?

Then after lunch it’s puzzles and darts, and bakingPaper mache, a bit of ballet and chessPottery and ventriloquy, candle makingThen I’ll stretch,Maybe sketch,Take a climb, sew a dress!

And I’ll reread the books if I have time to spareI’ll paint the walls some more, I’m sure there’s room somewhere.And then I’ll brush and brush, and brush and brush my hairStuck in the same place I’ve always been.

And I’ll keep wonderin’ and wonderin’, and wonderin’, and wonderin’When will my life begin?

Tomorrow night the lights will appearJust like they do on my birthday each year.What is it like out there where they glow?Now that I’m older, mother might just let me go.

RapunzelAll those days watching from the windowsAll those years outside looking inAll that time never even knowingJust how blind I’ve beenNow I’m here blinking in the starlightNow I’m here suddenly I seeStanding here it’s all so clearI’m where I’m meant to be

And at last I see the lightAnd it’s like the fog has liftedAnd at last I see the lightAnd it’s like the sky is newAnd it’s warm and real and brightAnd the world has somehow shiftedAll at once everything looks differentNow that I see you

FlynnAll those days chasing down a daydreamAll those years living in a blurAll that time never truly seeingThings, the way they wereNow she’s here shining in the starlightNow she’s here suddenly I knowIf she’s here it’s crystal clearI’m where I’m meant to go
